traffic, transit and pedestrian safety

In less than 2 years, Rachel has focused on traffic, transit and pedestrian safety by:

  • Advancing dozens of new traffic calming measures to improve road safety and reduce traffic infiltration in DVW, including securing three of the City' s first Intersection Pedestrian Signals (IPS)

  • Supporting cutting-edge technology to manage congestion and supporting increased fees for construction projects blocking lanes throughout the city

  • Working with community, Metrolinx and City staff to improve traffic mitigation during the Beth Nealson Drive closure and Overlea Dr and Millwood Construction

  • Collaborating with the TTC on service improvement across Ward 15

  • Focussing on interdivisional coordination to address persistent traffic challenges in areas including Donlea and Bayview

  • Advocating for improved snow clearing throughout Ward 15, particularly in areas that experience challenges during major winter storms

  • Moving motions on accessibility improvements during transit and right-of-way construction projects

  • Hosting a special Ontario Line Town Hall with MP Bowman to help residents better understand this major provincial project

  • Helping to secure $11 million for a new Local Road Resurfacing program, which will resurface an additional 3.4 kilometers of roads in Ward 15 beyond regularly scheduled road rehabilitation work

  • Working with residents and City staff to address various challenging areas to improve traffic, speeding, congestion and road safety issues, such as Donlea Drive, York Rd, Sheldrake and Mt. Pleasant and more
